Riding all 95 Tennessee Counties

Well its done all 95 Tennessee Counties have been ridden.  It was one heck of a ride about 4000 miles.  It started in March and over a series of weekends finally ended in September.  Actually I never intended to ride all of them.  I thought I could win the free service from the local Harley Ownership Group (HOG) with 30 or 40.  But I had some competition from a fellow Tuckessee Chapter  member that pushed me to do it.  

It was an incredible ride in scenery and the wealth of knowledge gained.  Don't get me wrong I had a lot of WTF moments, but it is something that no one can ever take away from me. We have a beautiful state,  rich in the history of the birth of our great nation and the history that almost tore it apart.   Tennessee is a great diverse place to live and it's getting better everyday.   My wife Terri was also a big inspiration.  She rides a softail slim and rode all but 20 counties with me.  It was a fun time with her.

In riding my motorcycle from Memphis to Bristol there was never a moment that I didn't feel safe.  It was a incredible run. So I challenge everyone get out there and ride, learn about the place that you live and call home.  There will be a time in your life that you wish that you did.  Don't let any place in America scare you. I don't plan to have any regrets and I hope you don't either.
